Many of us use the change of season as our cue to clean house. And the spring cleaning shouldn’t stop short of your makeup bag and bathroom vanity.

In addition to checking the expiration date on lotions, makeup and other skincare products, dermatologists recommend making some updates to your spring skincare routine, like adding an eye cream, getting religious about SPF, exfoliating more often and switching to a lighter moisturizer.

Plus, as the weather begins to warm up (and we shed those winter layers), it’s a great time to show your skin a little TLC. An affordable and fun way to do it? Concocting some DIY products at home to pamper, cleanse and exfoliate your skin. Dawn Jackson Blatner, RDN, celebrity wellness expert who has partnered with NOW® Solutions to talk nutrition and skin health this season, walked us through simple recipes you can add to your beauty routine right now to keep your skin feeling fresh. (We plan to whip up an extra batch for a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift!)

Get the recipes below — plus a roundup of some of the products you will need to get started.
